EPA Regions 6 & 7Project Overview:
With its commitment to conserving fuel and decreasing emissions UPS initiated early retirement of 30 1997-1999 Class 8 delivery trucks that provided service in and around nonattainment or moderate nonattainment areas in Louisiana, Texas and Missouri with new trucks that meet EPA 2010 engine emission standards and are equipped with selective catalytic reduction systems. Additionally for this project, CCR volunteered the early retirement and replacement of 10 Class 8 delivery trucks that service Houston, Texas with 2012 hybrid-electric trucks. From past experience CCR hybrids use 30 percent less fuel and produce about 30 percent fewer emissions than standard tractors. All technologies acquired are verified by the EPA to maximize fuel economy and reduce emissions. Project Information:
